Skyline Pigeon

"Skyline Pigeon" is a hymnal song by Elton John, Released originally in 1968, Skyline Pigeon is considered one of the first "great" songs that he and Bernie Taupin wrote, and is about a pigeon that is flying high and free having been released from a human hand. But is written metaphorically, in a way that can be related to almost any scenario, because of this, the actual topic of the song is mostly thought to be of war, although, an individual/s can make almost any interpretation of the song. With no definitive answer given by the lyrics. Because of this, Skyline Pigeon is a popular: religious, spiritual, and traditional festival tune which can be heard at various institutions. Skyline Pigeon was released in 1968 and is the only song from that era that is still performed; It is also considered a fan favorite. Two versions of the song exist, the original Harpsichord version from 1968, and a remade piano version, from 1972, the 1972 version, is considered the most known, having appeared as a bonus, collectible track on various albums and compilations although both versions are famous. It's also a popular
cover song for multiple artists.

The song appears first on the

Empty Sky album
and then the re-recording appears on the albums

The song itself has spawned its own definition in recent years,
as you can be referred to as a Skyline Pigeon.

skydiving

Skydiving involves jumping from an airplane at altitudes typically ranging from 12,000 feet to 14,000 feet…freefalling for about a minute, then deploying a parachute at typically 3,500 feet…and flying the parachute to a designated landing area. Skydiving has become safer in recent years due to a device that will deploy a parachute automatically at a certain altitude for you if you cannot. Skydiving is an extremely fun sport that is challenging and is best suited for the fast thinking, mature, and open minded individual that enjoys doing things with other people. Skydivers are some of the most fun loving people you will ever meet and very few of them are “crazy”. This sport is often called "crazy" by individuals who are not open minded, live vicariously, or simply do not have the balls to try it.
Skydiving is the most fun sport anyone could ever do and you should try it...this summer!
